Financials

Overview

FUTURES incorporated in California in 1989 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation. We pioneer new strategies to end violence against women and children in the United States and around the world, because everyone has the right to live free of violence. We’ve consistently received the highest four-star rating from Charity Navigator, a trusted guide for intelligent giving.

We receive support from private foundations, government, corporations, and individual donors allowing for groundbreaking work. Please refer to the graphs below for our activities in 2016.

Endowment Investment

With a generous $7.5M Matching Grant from The Ford Foundation, FUTURES established an endowment to support current and future programs. Authorized by the Board of Directors, the Investment Advisory Committee oversees and monitors endowment investment funds in accordance with the Investment Policy.

In alignment of our mission and activities, we are committed to invest in “socially responsible” funds and companies that achieve high standards of employee rights, promote women-owned business and leadership, and follow sound environmental practices measured by Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria.
